Execute order 66 yes Lord Sidious.
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie
Execute order 66. this is going to be my Clone Wars season 7 episode 11 video
there were a ton of Easter eggs they even played some footage directly from
Revenge of the Sith so we'll break it all down if you're new to the channel be
sure to subscribe to get all the videos careful for spoilers if you have not
seen the episode yet will do top 10 and Easter eggs as we go along so
starting with number 10 the title of the episode in the music at the beginning
the title of the episode shattered is a reference to the shattering of the Jedi
Order by the Emperor when he execute order 66 activating all the control
chips in the clones brains forcing them to hunt down and kill the Jedi because
they're hunting down ahsoka and Darth Maul during the episode they just
confirms that it's not just the currently active Jedi that they're going
after it's pretty much any known force user but the Emperor didn't kill all
force users I'll explain that in a second some young links he captured and
turned into his Inquisitor division but that was a little bit different they
cover some of that during the Jedi fallen order of video game 2 the music
is haunting because everyone watching the episode knows what's getting ready
to happen we know about order 66 so the music is just there to instill the sense
of dread and impending doom even through the first couple minutes of the episode
every time you see Darth Maul he just senses that something is in the air he
just senses the dark side of the force is getting so overwhelming that he knows
something terrible is about to happen and he's just waiting for a doll go down
9 ahsoka and poke at an imprisoned Darth Maul and the last remaining special
Mandalorian Jedi prison for transport back to the Jedi Temple it's a reference
to the Jedi Mandalorian Wars thousands of years ago the reference her sister
duchess satine again saying that she had all the anti jedi weapons dismantled or
outlawed a long time ago this is pretty much the last remaining relic from that
era but because we know the Mandalorians Great Purge is getting ready to happen
we know that there's a whole bunch of other Mandalorian relics that the Empire
is going to raid pretty soon when ahsoka references boca tan becoming
the new leader of the Mandalorians that's actually a reference to what's
going to happen on Star Wars rebels in a couple years down the timeline where she
becomes the leader of her people they reunite and Sabine wrens going to give her
the dark saber right now the dark saber is actually still on Dathomir left there
by Darth Maul it will show up next on Star Wars rebels number eight the Jedi
Council moves against Palpatine with the war technically over they have that
scene where mace Windu and Yoda the rest of the council discuss how they're
worried Palpatine isn't going to give back his emergency powers he was granted by
the Senate during Revenge of the Sith an attack of the clones they sort of
addressed this where he's slowly bit by bit convinces the Senate to grant him
more and more decision-making power and autonomy then finally during Revenge of
the Sith after Anakin turns to the dark side
after they execute order 66 he declares the Republic's going to become a new
Galactic Empire officially naming himself Emperor then they eventually
disband the Senate entirely before the events of a new hope they sort of
referenced that during episode four this meeting between mace windu Yoda ahsoka
the Jedi Council is right before mace windu talks to Anakin about Palpatine
being a Sith Lord than them showing up ready for that big fight they also
remind you a little bit about where you are in the timeline of Revenge of the
Sith when mace windu tells us oka that they've located Grievous on Utapau so
it's right before this big obi-wan fight number seven you all probably noticed
how the republic battleship looks even more like a classic Star Destroyer the
way that they filmed it during the episode all the men are starting to look
more like Imperials the uniforms look much more classic Star Wars the way they
filmed the bridge of the battleship with the pits and the men looking up Darth
Maul's prison cell looks exactly like Leia's prison cell from the Death Star
in a new hope remember at the end of Revenge of the Sith they sort of tease
the construction of the Death Star that's been happening for a while when
the movie picks up because they have most of the bones of it created even all
the clone troopers start acting more like and looking like the classic
stormtroopers but here's the thing actually big easter egg about the
classic Star Wars films originally George Lucas had the idea that the
stormtroopers in the original movies were all supposed to be clones but then
that slowly changed because the clones all started to die from old age being
replaced by regular people during the events of the original trilogy like when
we see Rex der Star Wars rebels he's actually kind of
an old man so most of the stormtroopers buy a new hope Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi Iran chooses regular people that have
been conscripted into the Empire six ahsoka and Rex's last conversation
before Anakin turns to the dark side so they're standing here on the bridge they
have this really deep conversation about how the Jedi aren't supposed to be
soldiers but ahsoka has spent her entire life as a soldier that's just a
reference to them creating her for the Clone Wars series and how she began as a
pad one under Anakin's tutelage in the first season Dave Filoni actually said
that he and George Lucas actually had conversations about almost retconning
her into Episode two attack of the clones as this young girl here but
because the ages didn't work out with a timeline they didn't wind up doing it
just because ahsoka at this point needed to be way older
Commander Rex gets all philosophical about the clones reminding us that the
clones are tired of the war they're ready to retire but they know that Darth
Sidious manipulated everything from the start the whole war and without the war
and Palpatine creating them they wouldn't even exist so is this really
weird moral conundrum on their part where they're happy to be alive they
want to lead normal productive lives in the galaxy but they were created for
this really evil purpose then five things take a turn for the worst
Anakin finally turns to the dark side they play a clip directly from Revenge
of the Sith this scene when mace windu is about ready to kill Palpatine and
Anakin chops his arm off allowing Palpatine to force lightning him out the
window creating a thousand fan theories about
how he's secretly survived because we never saw a body even samuel l.jackson
who loves being in these giant franchise movies still makes jokes about how mace
windu is still alive so when ahsoka is hearing Anakin's in
the emperor's voice Mace Windu's voice everyone crying out through the force
it's Hayden Christensen's voice not matt Lanter voice who does the voice of
Anakin on the Clone Wars series it's Ian McDiarmid who does the emperor in the
live-action movies it's samuel l.jackson doing the voice of mace windu because
they have all these characters on the Clone Wars but it's different voice over
actors playing the characters but it's all because they literally just copy
pasted this entire clip from Revenge of the Sith into the episode ahsoka is
clearly shaken doesn't totally understand what happened she's a little
confused she just knows something haribol went down and it's also a bit of
a reference to Obi Wan's reaction to the first Death Star destroying Alderaan
when he senses all their deaths in the force without really understanding what
just happened then for it all goes down Palpatine execute order 66 activating
all the clones commander Rex looks like he tries to fight it for a second he
even kills the other two troopers before they're able to get ahsoka warns her
about fives so that she can learn about the control chips but then all the
clones open up on her including Rex he eventually succumbs to the chip it's
pretty heartbreaking to see him turn on her right after this deep talk they just
had in knowing how long they've been friends and how all the clones in this
previous episode respected her so much that they painted their helmets orange
to look just like her face then on a dime they all turned it just shows you
how deep the programming and those control chips goes so three ahsoka is
forced to free Darth Maul and ask him for help to create a diversion
he's totally jazzed up and explains his part in all this he was never really
privy to the exact plans he only knew that Palpatine had a plot to kill the
Jedi he didn't know about the clones until it was all going down in the
moment like I said through the episode you could just see his eyes shifting
around as he's sensing this all getting ready to happen through the force so
when ahsoka tells him to go create some chaos it's what you're good at and he
asks her to give him a fighting chance he's asking her to give him one of her
lightsabers and of course she's like oh hell no I'm not giving you one of these
lightsabers he doesn't really need it because number two he just tears through
all those clone troopers just like Darth Vader tearing through the rebels at the
end of rogue one the scene of him running that gauntlet ripping them apart
savagely is meant to be a direct reference to this Darth Vader scene
It's a great scene and a good example of how powerful the dark side can be even
though Darth Vader is way way more powerful than Darth Maul the funny
parallel you guys have also probably realized between the two of them though
is that by the time of this Darth Vader scene he also has almost as many
cybernetic body part replacements as darth maul darth maul had been sliced in
half so his entire lower half is mechanical but anakin also has a lot of
his body parts replaced with sith technology the number one obviously
ahsoka is able to remove Rex's control chip paying off the Star Wars rebels
seen in the future when Rex talks about why he didn't wind up killing ahsoka or
any of the other Jedi during order 66 he said his control chip was removed and
then they just give us that scene here then he reveals the true extent of
Palpatine's plan the entire Grand Army is now hunting down the Jedi all the
clones and is all going to be over very very quickly
remember the Revenge of the Sith timeline right when this is happening is
probably when Anakin is on his way to the Jedi Temple to kill all the
younglings - for this scene they might reference that in next week's episode
just to make a souca cry a little bit more then hopefully in the finale
they'll show us his transformation into Darth Vader in some sort of a Sokka
post-credits scene after the ending of revenge a--this is just to show us where
she went into hiding next is sort of tee up the Mandalorian season - ahsoka stuff
